re: Lois Lerner Warned IRS Employees to “be cautious about what we say in emails”

the question and warning of e-mails is fairly common in public service.

let me just interject that this is bullshite

they are public servants and every effort should be made to meticulously detail every professional thing they say/do

that's the only way that we can have true accountability in a scenario like this

it shouldn't take a congressional investigation to get these emails, see all the communications, and, if there is an issue with "losing" those, to find out which employee is responsible for that

this isn't a left/right or DEM/GOP thing. it's a government v. people thing. you're the fricking government. you are beholden to us. it should be criminal to hide your actions using public resources/power

And that's why it is VERY VERY common for supervisors to tell every employee to be careful about what they say in their e-mails. Heck, I could find similar e-mails from nearly every company I have worked for in the private sector.

True


But NOT to skirt Congressional oversight. As Lerner said when she asked if Office Communicator is tracked, answer was Not unless you save the messgaes, she said "perfect".

She was ensuring their actions would not and could not see the light of day from oversight.

Jesus Christ. can you seriously not tell the fricking difference?

I don't think I've ever worked somewhere that I wasn't warned about watching what you say in emails.

These guys are so desperate for ANYTHING to catch something anything that they'll make something out of nothing.

Every

Day


Then they get upset because no normal people see the cray cray they see.

You ever work in the government?

OVERSIGHT, you are trying to compare some fricking idiot that works for Kinkos adn emails sexy emails inter office, to attempting to skirt legal oversight.

I think your sense of ethical obligations is admirable. However I do wonder where this was when the subject of Romney's computers came up two years ago. Ya know his entire staff destroyed their computers on his last day in office to ensure no one could see what they were up to while in office.

Tell me SFP..... If I go back two years in those threads on this board, am I going to see your posts with the same sentiment?

TIA

(Reuters) - Mitt Romney spent nearly $100,000 in state funds to replace computers in his office at the end of his term as governor of Massachusetts in 2007 as part of an unprecedented effort to keep his records secret, Reuters has learned.

Why are you and the other one intentionally ignoring the part about specifically addressing the need to avoid issues around e-mails being subpoenaed by Congress? You are lying if you say that is common in any sector. And I've seen hundreds of companies' acceptable use policies and electronic communications policies.
